Unloading of the Unconscious

The Habit of Heartfulness

English Transcript:

The Divine Therapy has to empty out the emotional junk of a lifetimethat is stored in the body like a meal that has never been digested. So it’s a little uncomfortable coming to consciousness. When we’re blasted by the unloading of the unconscious,or this psychic vomiting – which is very healthy,because it’s getting rid of something that shouldn’tbe in our psyche – this is the marvelous freedom. While it’s a little surprising when it begins,you get used to it. It also has an end. At some point, you come to the bottomof the grosser aspects of what’s been stowed in the unconscious and warehoused in the body, and then you’re ready for the more refined workof the nights.
